Parkwood Healthcare Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parkwood Holdings PLC. The company has specialised in providing non-emergency patient transport services and supplying highly qualified nursing personnel to the healthcare sector. The company provides services to the NHS, independent and voluntary sectors in London and the South East.

Parkwood Healthcare is the Host for Harrow, Lewisham, Essex & Southend, Lancashire and Greenwich LINks. We won the contract for Harrow in July 2008 and have an Executive Committee in place to formulate an Action Plan and take the LINk forward.

As host we value:

EQUALITY

In addition to the widely recognised principles of equality, we are committed to create equality
of opportunities for those who do not have experience of participation, consultation and
representation on forums like LINks through training, mentoring and skills exchange.

DIVERSITY

We are committed to ensure that the LINk represents all sections of the community across ethnic, mental and physical ability, health and medical conditions, and will support individuals and groups to be valued members of the LINk.

INCLUSION

We are committed that the LINk will remain an open network of individuals and organisations
with outreach and development at the heart of its activities to welcome and encourage existing
and new membership to reflect the local community.

WIDENING PARTICIPATION

We are committed to work towards encouraging groups and individuals who were traditionally
excluded or easy to ignore when it comes to consultation and representation to be valued
members of the LINk and make significant contributions.
